To ensure a parked vehicle stays in position, what is NOT a recommended precaution?

The recommended precaution to ensure a parked vehicle remains in position is related to how a driver manages the wheels in relation to a curb, especially on a slope. Ideally, turning the front wheels into the curb when parked downhill, or away from the curb when parked uphill, helps prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic should it start to move.

Turning the back wheels in the proper direction on a grade is not recognized as a standard practice for securing a vehicle. Generally, the focus is on the front wheels when making these adjustments for safety. This choice does not align with the recommended practices for vehicle stability when parked. The other options emphasize critical actions, such as applying the parking brake, leaving the vehicle in gear, and properly positioning the front wheels relative to the curb, which are all effective strategies in preventing movement.
